Why Turmeric and Ginger Are a Dream Team

• • Turmeric: The star compound in  turmeric, curcumin, is a natural anti-inflammatory powerhouse. Studies show its effectiveness rivals some anti-inflammatory drugs, without the unwanted side effects. Additionally, turmeric is rich in antioxidants, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.
  • Ginger: Famous for reducing inflammation, ginger also supports digestion and relieves nausea. Its potent antioxidant properties provide further protection against oxidative stress, promoting overall health.

What You’ll Need

• 2 inches of fresh turmeric root (or 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder)
• 2 inches of fresh ginger root
• 1 lemon
• 1 apple (optional, for natural sweetness)
• 2 cups of water or coconut water
• Honey or another sweetener to taste (optional)

How to Make Turmeric and Ginger Juice

1. 1. Prepare Your Ingredients
      Wash the turmeric and ginger roots thoroughly. If organic, peeling is optional, but for non-organic roots, peeling is recommended to remove any residue. Core and chop the apple into chunks. Juice the lemon and set aside.
   2. Juicing or Blending
      • If using a juicer, feed the turmeric, ginger, and apple through the machine. Stir in the fresh lemon juice afterward.
      • If using a blender, combine the turmeric, ginger, apple, lemon juice, and water (or coconut water) in the blender. Blend until smooth.
   3. Strain the Juice
      For a silky texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or a nut milk bag to remove the fibrous pulp.
   4. Sweeten to Taste
      If desired, add a touch of honey or your preferred natural sweetener. Stir until dissolved.
   5. Serve and Enjoy
      Sip your juice fresh for the best flavor and health benefits. For a cooling treat, serve it over ice, or gently warm it on the stove for a cozy drink in colder months.

Pro Tips and Variations

• Boost Curcumin Absorption: Add a pinch of black pepper to the juice. The piperine in black pepper enhances curcumin absorption in the body.
• Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a dash of cinnamon for a warming note or a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost.
• Make It a Habit: Regular consumption can help manage inflammation-related conditions like arthritis, but remember to pair it with a balanced diet for the best results.
